A funny thing happened to me last Friday.I’d gone to London to do some shopping. I wanted to get some Christmas presents, and I needed to find some books for my course at school (you see, I’m a student).I caught an early train to London so by early afternoon I’d bought everything that I wanted.Anyway, I’m not very fond of London, all the noise and traffic, and I’d made some arrangements for that evening.So, I took a taxi to Waterloo station.I can’t really afford taxis, but I wanted to get the 3:30 train.Unfortunately the taxi got stuck in a traffic jam, and by the time I got to Waterloo, the train had just gone.I had to wait an hour for the next one.I bought an evening newspaper the ‘Standard’, and wandered over to the station buffet.At that time of day it’s nearly empty, so I bought a coffee and a packet of biscuits–chocolate biscuits.I’m yew fond of chocolate biscuits.There were plenty of empty tables and I found one near the window.I sat down and began doing the crossword.
上周五我碰到了一桩有趣的事。我去伦敦购物，想买些圣诞礼物，还想找些学校教程(你知道，我是名学生)。我赶了早班车去伦敦，这样刚到下午我就已经买好了想买的一切。不管怎样，我不喜欢伦敦，喧闹且交通拥挤，而且那天晚上，我已经有了安排。于是我搭出租车去了滑铁卢车站。其实我是搭不起出租车的，可我想赶上3：30的火车。不幸的是，出租车遇到了交通阻塞，等我到滑铁卢的时候，火车刚好离开。无奈，我只好等一个小时乘下一趟。我买了一份晚报《标准报》，然后逛到了车站的餐厅。那时候餐厅几乎空无一人，于是我买了一杯咖啡、一包饼干——巧克力饼干。我非常喜欢巧克力饼干。那里有好多空桌子，我挑了一张靠窗的。坐下后我开始做字谜游戏。
